Guy Maddin

This photo is a still from Guy Maddin's "My Winnipeg". A person's relationship with the city of their birth can be a complicated one. Coming from Winnipeg brings me a particular joy. "My Winnipeg" is a good way for someone from someplace other than Winnipeg to start to get to know the city, and Guy Maddin.  To find out more about Mr. Maddin's movies, go to http://www.guymaddin.net
My family home is on Lorette Avenue. This is important to remember if you ever watch "My Winnipeg". You'll find out why we don't talk about Lorette.
